 Welcome! Let's explore syncing Clever or Class Link with CSAW. Before we get started, make sure you're signed in to your CSAW for Schools District Admin account. In order to access your roster sync dashboard, you must be a CSAW District Admin. To start the flow of data between Clever or Class Link and CSAW, first you will need to manually initiate a full sync. If a full sync has not yet been manually initiated, you will see this banner on your district dashboard. To run your first sync, tap Manage Roster Sync. On your roster sync dashboard, you will see a list of schools. The schools listed in your roster sync dashboard indicate that data for that school is being shared through your Clever or Class Link sharing rules. Data between Clever or Class Link and CSAW is synced school by school, so this list should match the list of schools that will be using CSAW this year. The green check mark and syncing nightly status indicate that the connection between CSAW and Clever or Class Link is set up and standing by for your first sync. Because a full sync has not been run yet, all schools should have the Last Data Changes Never status. Data will not automatically flow into CSAW until you have initiated your first full sync. Tap the blue Sync All Schools button to initiate the first full sync, which will bring all Clever or Class Link data over to CSAW. During this process, new classes will be created, existing teacher and student accounts with emails or student IDs that match the information in your shared data will be found and updated, and accounts will be created for all students and teachers who do not have existing accounts that match the data in the sync. This process can take several hours depending on the amount of data syncing. Please feel free to check back later. There are three types of syncs between Clever or Class Link and CSAW. First, the full sync, which you just initiated, resets all syncing data in CSAW to match exactly what is shared in Clever or Class Link for all schools in your district. A full sync does not delete any classes, teachers, students, or student work. The second type of sync is the manual sync. This is a school level full sync. All Clever or Class Link data at the school where you run a manual sync will be reset to match exactly what is shared. You will use this to resolve sync errors or when you need to sync changes made to only one school without affecting other schools in your district. Note, any manual changes made in CSAW to classes that sync with your CIS, such as adding students to a CSAW class when they aren't rostered to that class in your CIS, will be undone by a manual sync. Like a full sync, a manual sync will force the data in CSAW at a school by school level to exactly match what is being shared from your CIS. If you need to keep manual changes in CSAW, please reach out to CSAW Support for assistance before running a manual sync. Last but not least is the nightly sync, which happens every night unless paused. Clever or Class Link and CSAW sync nightly at approximately 8.30pm Pacific time. The nightly sync only syncs changes to your data that have not previously been shared with CSAW. Now let's go back and check our full sync. Once your first full sync is complete, you should see green circles with check marks indicating that Clever or Class Link and CSAW were able to sync and that the nightly sync will run every night. The last data changes information will update only when new data is found during the nightly sync. It does not indicate when the last sync ran. If the green check mark and syncing nightly status is visible, your sync is running nightly. Instead of a green check mark, you may see a red X. This indicates that there is an error that needs to be addressed before the nightly sync can run. For more information on how to resolve these errors, please visit our Help Center or contact CSAW support. That's it! You've completed your first sync. You should not need to run another full sync until next school year. Find more setup steps and resources here. We recommend bookmarking this page for quick access. Thanks for joining us today.
